I love all the glamorous shots, the little crystals are so sweet and I love the old books, thanks for the cool shots...I have some creepy house sitters, come over and take a look and let me know what you think...Phyllis

This is a beautiful vignette, Anita. I love your arrangement in the wooden box. I was at Winners (TJMaxx Canadian style) today and saw a 'silver' candelabra and remembered I have a family heirloom one in the closet. I must get it out for this holiday season! Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Pam

I luv it. I have only added dried hydrangeas so far about the home. Now I see you added pumpkins to your... luv it. Will be adding a pumpkin or 2 to my bread box full of hydrangea blooms. Thanks for the inspiration Anita.Hugs, Gee

The memories attached to your beautiful pieces are what makes them so stunning. The drying flowers are gorgeous eye candy, and I especially love the sheet music in the old window. You give an entirely new meaning to fabulous!

So simple and so elegant! I have missed you Anita! I have to catch up on all your kitchen redo! I have been such a bad blogger! The whole "crazy life" thing has gotten in the way of blogging! I hope you are well and all your babies are enjoying their new school year!

I have some left over crystals from a recent project and want to bling up some things. I love the way this all looks, and I really want to do the sheet music in a window. I love to decorate with sheet music, and I love to decorate with windows. I'm feeling like a big "duh" that I haven't put them together before.

Looked at all the photos...wow...what a lot you learned and put to good use. Back in the dark ages (1980) I bought a Pentax K1000...the bottom of the line camera. I took a photography class at the local Jr. College and I was fortunate enough to have had a great instructor. I LOVED, LOVED, black and white photography and spending time in the dark room (that's where I had to learn not to be afraid of the dark). Now I am 73 yrs old and all I have is a Fujifilm DSLR camera with a zoom lens (not removable)which my daughter bought me. I am discouraged about the quality of the photos...and was wondering if a class like the one you and Luis attended would help. I also have the "Photoshop" software which I have not installed. Your outdoor shots have me drooling. I don't have a lot of money to spend for a class but I am willing to look into the cost of one. The cameras you have...I wish I could afford some like them. Thanks for posting these beautiful shots. Your indoor glam shots are so beautiful. Warmly, Mary (The Old Elf) iwasamightymouse@yahoo.com

I just viewed your profile...about time I did. What a great write up you posted about yourself, your husband, your devotion to singing and serving in the armed forces. In addition to having such a great home built from items from the home your grandfather built. That is a wonderful heritage for you and to pass onto your children. In reading the posts about the kitchen counter you and Luis both worked on I thought it was so great that Luis is so meticulous(sp). Thanks for all your posts and sharing about you in your profile.Warmly, Mary (The Old Elf)
